I have a coleman instant cabin for 10 people for myself. Core makes some also. They are easy enough by myself. Take your time the first few times. Then it will get easier.

3, a solo lightweight, 2p normal and I just got a new - Coleman "Instant Up Darkroom Technology 10 Person Tent", which is a game changer!

Coleman 10 person lighted. Have to get it when Costco stocks it, but it’s a solid tent

Get an instant up tent, my huge 10 x 14 can be put up solo by me in 2 minutes after spreading it out. Amazing advance in tents. Used to take me 45 minutes for my old dome tent and those annoying tension poles. You don't need one as big as mine (though my friend and I use it all the time so loads of room) but no need to spend $$$ on a tent. I've used mine for 5 years now, been thru 2 bad storms and still in perfect condition. got it half price at end of season at Sams so great investment for $99. Fly works great. No leaks.

My setup is a 10'x20' Costco carport with a Coleman 10 person pop-up tent inside one half (with mesh windows zipped), and the other half of the carport has a rug/carpet floor with a table, a couple chairs for a simple living room of sorts. All under $500.
